Have a look at

http://www.mandrakelinux.com

the free download edition is 3 ISO images

It comes with a plethora of window managers including Gnome & KDE and Gnome =

runs fine on the TP600, however since this is older hardware I use icewm=20

is available in the contrib directory of the Mandrake mirrors or can be=20
